Apply the Q test to the following data sets to determine whether the outlying result should be retained or rejected at the 95% confidence level. ( work on the first measurements according to your case)
To test the quality of the work of a commercial laboratory, duplicate analyses of apurified benzoic acid (68.8% C, 4.953% H) sample were requested. It is assumed that therelative standard deviation of the method is sr →  = 4 ppt for carbon and 6 ppt forhydrogen. The means of the reported results are 68.5% C and 4.882% H. At the 95%confidence level, is there any indication of systematic error in either analysis?

An analysis of city drinking water for total hardness was done by two students in the laboratory and produced the following results (in ppm CaCO3): Student A: 228.3, 226.4, 226.9, 227.1, and 228.6. Student B: 229.5, 226.1, 230.7, 223.8, and 227.5What is the 95% confidence interval for the mean?
A solution is prepared by weighing 5.0000 g of cesium iodide into a 100-mL volumetric flask. The balance used has a precision of 0.2 mg reported as a standard deviation, and the volumetric flask could be filled with a precision of 0.15mL also reported as a standard deviation. What is the estimated standard deviation of concentration (g/mL)?
Chemistry The levels of an organic pollutant (P) in the groundwater at the perimeter of a plant were a cause for concern. A 10 mL sample of the water was taken and the pollutant was extracted with 95% efficiency using 25 mL of diethyl ether. GC was used to analyse the concentration of P in diethyl ether. A calibration curve was plotted for a series of standards of P which yielded the following results: Peak Area Toluene Conc. (µg/ml) 12,000 2.6 23,700 5.0 35,500 7.7 46,800 9.9 31,250 Sample Determine the concentration of P in ppb in the initial groundwater sample.

6. The concentration of caffeine in an energy soft drink was determined by standard addition using HPLC. The following procedure was used: a standard caffeine solution was prepared by adding 0.09850g of caffeine to 25.0 cm3 of water.A series of solutions were prepared by adding known volumes of the standard solution to the soft drink before diluting to 100 cm3. The volume of standard and the caffeine peak area are shown in the table: Energy Drink (cm3) Added caffeine Std (cm3) Peak area 15 0 965 15 5 1352 15 10 1739 15 15 2126 15 20 2513 Determine the concentration of caffeine in the soft drink as mg cm-3.

Estimate the absolute standard deviation (or uncertainty) for the results of the following calculations. Round each result so that it contains only significant digits. The numbers in parentheses are absolute standard deviations. Show your solution and express the final answer and its corresponding uncertainty. a) y= 2.998(±0.002) - 3.98 (±0.15) + 9.035 (±0.002) = 8.0531 b) y= 39.2(±0.3) x 3.054 (±0.022) x 10^ -2 = 1.197 c) y= [198(±6) - 89 (±3)] / 1335 (±2) + 64 (±7)] = 7.791 x 10^-2
A method for the detection of morphine is used to generate a calibration curve in which the assay response (y) is plotted versus morphine concentration (x, in mg/L). This gives a straight line with a slope (m) of 0.241 and a y-intercept (b) of 0.011, where y = mx + b. The slope of this line has a standard deviation of ±0.007, and the standard deviation of the intercept is ±0.006. If the sample from an athlete gives a response of 0.506 ± 0.013 in this method, what is the concentration of morphine in the sample and estimated precision of this concentration?
